Abstract: A liquid crystal electrooptical element is disclosed that comprises a pair of substrates positioned between a pair of polarising plates, electrodes defining pixel areas and alignment layers disposed on the respective opposing inside surfaces of the substrates, and a chiral nematic liquid crystal sandwiched between the pair of surfaces. At least one of the alignment layers may be patterned in such a way that the azimuth or pretilt or both alignment directions are different at the substrate interfaces suppressing the growth of the ground state of the liquid crystal. When an initial electrical pulse is applied, one of the at least two bistable states can be reached, wherein the contrast ratio between the bistable states is two or greater. A device with such features is long-term bistable and does not require electronic refreshing as long as the displayed information is not changed. Therefore, the power consumption of this bistable device is minimal.

Abstract: A transmitter that includes an amplifying element, an antenna, a gain stage, and a closed loop feedback may compensate for varying antenna loads without an isolator. This may be accomplished by determining the effects of the varying loading on overall loop gain. Knowing the effects, the transmitter adjusts the gain of the gain stage to maintain a constant overall loop gain, thus eliminating the need for an isolator. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A door fastening device for securement at a jamb (10) of the frame of said door (11), the device having a casing with a slot (43) in a recessed central part of a front face (38) thereof at which is disposed a faceplate (40) adjustably secured to the casing and having a slot (47) aligned with slot (43) to allow passage of a bolt (13) of a lock (12) or latch of the door. The bolt is arranged, when extended, to engage and move rearwardly in the casing a cam (24) secured to one side of a link (23) which is pivotally mounted at its respective ends to swivel bolts (21). The rearwards movement of the link (23) causes the bolts to extend through respective openings in the front of the casing to prevent opening of the door. The cam has a flat surface (29;31) and at 90 DEG  thereto an arcuate nose surface (36), the cam being adjustably rotatable to position the flat surface or the nose surface in line with the bolt. Since the nose surface is radially further from the cam rotation axis than the flat surface, the adjustment compensates for differing gaps between the door and frame by ensuring the bolt always moves the link fully to its position where it causes both swivel bolts fully to extend. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method to generate a packet format is disclosed which enables to use shorter packets for data transmission. It is disclosed to transmit the data payload using two different line codes. The packet comprises a synchronization sequence (sync') (e.g. a dotting sequence or a Manchester encoded sequence), the first part of the data symbols (dat1) encoded with a Manchester code, and the second part of the data symbols (dat2) encoded with a non return-to-zero (NRZ) code. Between the first and the second data part a guard interval (rob') is inserted. At the receiver side, the clock synchronization unit can remain in the fast tracking mode until the end of the first data sequence (dat1) and hence the length of the synchronization sequence can be reduced. The invention is applied in the field of optical data transmission. <IMAGE>
